All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Our boat captain was terrific, we were able to see two species of whales, many dolphins 3 turtles from the boat and two more snorkeling. Not sure how it could have been any better. Best thing we did in Hawaii

We will take a boat to the sea at Waikiki, and during that time, we can see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki. There aren't many fish in the waters of Waikiki, but there are a lot of fish around the sunken ship, which is very interesting. When you take photos, they come out a bit blue and are somewhat hard to see, but if you actually see it, you can tell that the sea is beautiful. The interior of the ship is a bit cold. However, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I don't think I'll have such an experience again.

船でワイキキの海に行きますが、その間にダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。ワイキキの海の中はあまり魚はいないですが、沈没船の周りには多くの魚がおり、非常に面白いです。写真を撮ると青みがかかり、少し見にくいですが、実際に見れば美しい海だと言うことがわかります。艦内は少し寒いです。ただ、本当に素晴らしい体験でしたし、こんな経験は2度とできないでしょう。

It had been a while since my last trip to Hawaii. I always made sure to schedule a dinner show on the last day, but this time it coincided with the fireworks on Friday, so I decided to change the date. Since it was only the second day and I had an early morning tomorrow, I planned to keep it light and not order any alcohol. However, I ended up chatting with a Japanese couple at my table and joined in on their drinks.

I believe one of the joys of traveling is being able to hear stories and recommendations directly from those who have experienced various things. Anyway, the show was very entertaining. If it had been purely a Polynesian-style show, I might have dozed off due to jet lag and the early wake-up, as the music was quite soothing. However, the cast provided an entertaining performance that felt like a mini concert.

I particularly enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment, as I belong to that generation but had never been to one of his concerts, so I purely enjoyed the dance and singing. The couple I sat with seemed to be from the Elvis Presley generation, and they enjoyed it just as much.

The VIP package included drinks during the show, which was a nice touch. The food was also quite suitable for Japanese tastes, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the buffet offered additional servings, it was so plentiful that I could hardly finish anything other than dessert.

I received a lei at the hotel and got another one here to take home. The scent of the flowers lingered in my room, and since it was only the second day, I kept it on display until my return.

久しぶりのハワイでした。ディナーショーは必ず最後の日に入れていましたが、今回は金曜日の花火と重なるので日にちをずらしました。まだ2日目で明日も早い為、お酒など注文せずに軽く過ごす予定でしたが同席の日本人ご夫婦とお話が弾み御相伴に預かる事になりました。

旅の醍醐味は色々経験された方からのお話やおススメスポットを直に聞ける事も含まれているのでは無いかと思います。
話はそれましたがショーはとても面白かったです。純粋にポリネシアンスタイルのショーだと、時差ぼけと早起きが続いて、音楽が穏やか過ぎて寝てしまいそうですがエンターテイメントなキャスト達が繰り広げるプチコンサートの様な形相もありました。
特にマイケルジャクソンは世代ですがコンサートに行った事無い為、純粋にダンスや歌を楽しみました。同席させて頂いたご夫婦はエルビスプレスリー世代だった様で、こちらも同じ様に楽しまれていました。
VIPのコースの予約にはショーの間のドリンクも用意されていたのでこちらも楽しみました。お食事は日本人にもあう内容だったので美味しく頂きました。ブュッフェは追加で頂く事も出来ましたが
種類豊富でデザート以外はおかわり出来ない位充実してましたよ。
ホテルで頂いたレイと、こちらでもレイを頂いて帰りましたがお花の香りがお部屋に漂ってまだ2日目の為帰国まで飾ってました

Very fun and staff were awesome and very helpful !

Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!

My granddaughter and I participated in the Dolphin Quest excursion. The staff was very educated. They gave us a lot of information on those amazing creatures.

While being blown by the pleasant winds of Hawaii, we went whale watching. Since it was a large boat, I didn't feel much rocking. Upon boarding, we had the opportunity for a commemorative photo, which we could purchase if we liked. The photo was so lovely that I decided to buy it as a memory of this stay. Additionally, we could see the blue ocean of Hawaii and Diamond Head from the boat, and it felt great to be swayed by the boat while listening to Hawaiian music. This time, we were able to see a mother and her calf whale.

ハワイの心地いい風に吹かれながら鯨探しにいきます。大きな船なのであまり揺れも感じませんでした。乗船時には記念撮影をしていただき、気に入れば購入することができます。素敵な写真だったため今回の滞在の思い出に購入させてもらいました。また、船からハワイの青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡すことができ、ハワイアンミュージックを聴きながら船に揺られるのもの心地が良かったです。今回は親子のくじらを見ることができました。

ホノルルの夜に、最高の時間でした。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなど似ているかどうかは、別として、楽しい夜を過ごすことができます。

The underwater scenery with sunken ships and airplane wrecks was amazing. We saw a lot of fish as well. However, my wife seemed to be struggling with seasickness.

沈没船や飛行機の残骸など、海の中は凄かった。たくさんの魚もみられた。　
ただ、妻は船酔いで辛そうでした。

I was very satisfied to see a pod of about five whales. The boat was large and stable, and the staff were very skilled at positioning the boat, often moving to a spot where the whales would appear in a way that made them easy to see. I thought they might be too far away to see, but in reality, they were impressive enough to enjoy even with the naked eye.

5匹ほどのクジラの群れを見ることができて、とても満足でした。船が大きくて安定感もあり、スタッフの方の船の位置取りがとても上手で、いつも見やすい場所に移動してからクジラが現れることが多かったのが印象的でした。遠すぎて見えないかもと思っていましたが、実際は肉眼でも十分迫力があり、しっかり楽しめました。

Riding horses in the breathtaking nature was truly enjoyable. If you want to fully appreciate the great outdoors, I believe horseback riding is better than taking a buggy. It's completely fine even for beginners. Basically, all the horses are calm and well-behaved. Occasionally, there were some that didn't have a muzzle and would nibble on the grass along the way...

However, the saddles on all the horses tended to shift. The initial setup wasn't very good, which put a lot of strain on my knees, and after getting off the horse, it was tough to walk for a while. But since I love horses, I was able to ride a lot and had a great time.

At Kualoa Ranch, there are staff members at the main reception and guides who can speak Japanese, which is very kind and reassuring.

圧巻の大自然のなかでの乗馬は本当に楽しかったです。大自然をゆっくり堪能するなら、バギーより乗馬だと思います。初めてでも全然問題ないです。基本的に馬はみんな大人しくてお利口さんばかり。たまに口輪をしていない子は、道草を食ってしまっていましたが…。
ただ、どの馬の鞍もずれてきてしまうんですよね…もともとのセッティングがあまり上手くなくて、膝にすごく負担がかかり下馬後、しばらく歩くのが辛かったですが、馬が好きなのでたっぷり乗れて楽しめました。
クアロアランチはメイン受付や案内のスタッフにも日本語が話せる方がいて、すごく親切で安心です。

The waves were high, and I was thrown into the sea while on the bumper tube (laughs), but it was very thrilling and the best experience. I highly recommend this combination.

波が高くバンパーチューブでは海に飛ばされ（笑）ましたが、とてもスリリングで最高でした。この組み合わせおすすめです。

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and the waves were calm, making it perfect for a cruise. Once we boarded the boat, we received an explanation about whales, and afterwards, we enjoyed some pineapple banana bread and coffee. It was very delicious. My elderly mother also said it was tasty and finished it all.

After having our snacks, we went out on the deck and enjoyed cruising while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day.

The wind wasn't too strong, so cruising in the warm sunshine felt really nice. It would have been amazing to see whales, but I think that's just a matter of luck.

They asked if I would like to board again, so I provided my contact information before disembarking, but in the end, I didn't go for a second ride. If I had more time in my schedule, I would have liked to try again.

当日は天気も良く、波も穏やかで絶好のクルーズ日和でした。
船に乗るとまず、クジラについての説明等があり、その後パイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒーを頂きました。とても美味しかったです。高齢の母も美味しいと言って完食していました。

軽食を頂いた後は、デッキに出て、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドなどを海側から眺めながらのクルージングを楽しみましたが、残念ながら、この日はクジラには会えませんでした。

風もそこまで強くなかったので、暖かい陽射しの中でのクルージングはとても気持ち良かったです。
クジラに会えていたら、最高でしたが、こればっかりは運だと思います。

再度の乗船希望を聞かれたので、連絡先を教えてもらって下船しましたが、結局、2度目の乗船はしませんでした。日程に余裕があったら再挑戦したかったです。

It was fun! The staff was lively, and not only was the parasailing itself enjoyable, but the journey there was fun too! Even getting seasick is a good memory, haha!

楽しかったです！
スタッフさんもノリノリでパラセーリング自体はもちろん移動中も楽しかったです！！
船酔いもいい思い出です笑

There is a certain degree of unpredictability. It's entirely possible that you might not see anything, but in that case, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while cruising. I participated with that mindset.

I wasn't particularly interested since I could only see parts of the body from a distance, but I thought it would be a rare experience for my child to say, "I saw a whale!" So, I decided to join. As a result, we were able to see a lot, and our whole family was very satisfied.

When I glanced ahead, I noticed many protrusions. It was a pod of dolphins. There was no announcement, so I informed the people around me. If you don't rely solely on announcements and actively look out at the sea, you might get lucky.

I took a taxi to the location. It seemed that many people gathered there. It cost about $25 one way, including tips, from around Halekulani. On the way there, I was dropped off quite far away and had to walk for about 15 minutes. Be sure to tell the driver "Pier 8." For the return trip, I called the taxi company after arriving at the port, and they came in about 20 minutes. There was a souvenir shop, so it was a good way to pass the time. When I told them "Pier 8 near Aloha Tower," they came right to the front.

In the past, my family had a terrible experience on a smaller boat during dolphin watching, but this time, we all enjoyed it without any seasickness. Choosing this boat was the right decision. The pineapple cake we had on board was delicious. There were cold water, coffee, and tea available as drinks. There were also paid drinks, but the complimentary drinks were sufficient. There were 2 or 3 people who got seasick, but most of the guests were happily enjoying whale watching.

運次第なところはあります。
見れない場合も十分にあり得る事、その場合は美しい景色のクルージングを楽しむ。そういう心持ちで参加しました。

身体の一部を遠くで見る事ができる程度のため自分自身はさほど興味はありませんでしたが、子供にとっては「くじらを見た！」という得難い経験になると思い参加しました。
結果として沢山見ることができ、家族一同大満足でした。

ふと目をやった先に突起物がたくさん見えました。イルカの群れでした。
アナウンスは特に無かったので周囲の方々に教えて差し上げました。
アナウンス任せにせず自分でも海を探していたらラッキーなことがあるかもしれません。

現地へはタクシーで行きました。現地集合の方が多かったように思います。
ハレクラニあたりから片道チップ込みで25ドルほどでした。
行きはかなり遠くに降ろされてしまい15分も歩きました。必ず「ピア8」とお伝えしてください。
帰りは港へ到着してからタクシー会社へ電話して20分ほどで来てくれました。
お土産屋さんがありましたのでいい時間つぶしになりました。
配車の際「アロハタワーの近くのピア8」とお伝えしたらきちんと目の前まで来てくれました。
過去、もっと小さな船でドルフィンウォッチングに参加した際全滅した我が家でも酔い止めなしで全員楽しめました。こちらの船を選んで正解でした。
船内でいただいたパイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。
ドリンクは冷たいお水やコーヒー、紅茶もありました。
有料ドリンクもありましたが無料サービスのドリンクで十分でした。
船酔いされた方は2～3名いましたがほとんどの方が元気にホエールウォッチングを楽しんでおられました。

Thought everything what amazing. Stopped at all the areas for pictures and Ivan our guide was tremendous. Could not have had a better experience!!!

I was looking forward to the Polynesian dance, but aside from the last performer who used fire, the atmosphere was greatly diminished by the presence of mostly Western and Chinese-Japanese performers. After all, Polynesian dance should be performed by those who embody the Polynesian spirit... Other than that, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアのダンスを楽しみにしていたのに、最後の火を使った演技者以外は欧米系、中華日系で雰囲気が大きく損なわれた。
やはりポリネシアダンスはポリネシアンの雰囲気を持った方が踊らないと…
それ以外は満足です

What a rush !!! Excellent excursion!!
Closest thing to being in a surfboard.
Guide excelled at giving understandable directions.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet any whales this time, but the splendid sightseeing boat didn't sway much, so I was able to enjoy the trip without worrying about seasickness. My 2-year-old was super excited about being on such a big boat for the first time, and our whole family had a blissful time admiring the beautiful views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. The staff were warm and attentive, making it truly a perfect description of an elegant holiday. I definitely want to book again for our next trip to Hawaii, aiming for a little revenge on the whale sighting!

残念ながら今回はクジラさんに会うことは叶いませんませんでしたが、大きな揺れを感じない立派な遊覧船だったので、船酔いの心配もなく終始安心して楽しめました。
2歳の子供も初めての大きな船に大興奮で、家族全員でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの美しい街並みを海から眺めるという、至福のひとときを過ごせました。スタッフの方々の気配りも温かく、まさに優雅な休日という言葉がぴったりです。次回のハワイ旅行でも、リベンジを兼ねてぜひまた予約したいと思います。

The cheerful staff keeps you entertained. Although it's in English, they are accustomed to Japanese people and explain things with gestures, so there are no problems. The parasailing itself is fantastic. If I have the chance, I would like to do it again next time.

It's fine to bring bags like backpacks. You can store your belongings and sandals in the space under the seats, so they won't get wet. Of course, managing valuables is each person's responsibility. I think the photo option will be added unless you decline it. This time, I participated with three people, and one stayed on the boat, so taking photos with my smartphone was sufficient. With a smartphone, you can also take videos, and if one person is staying on the boat, I think the photo option isn't necessary. However, if there isn't anyone to take photos from the boat, it would be better to opt for it.

The boat rocked, but I didn't get seasick. It might have been influenced by the fact that there were only two groups participating and it was a short time.

陽気なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。英語ですけど、日本人に慣れていて身振り手振りで説明をしてくれるので問題ありません。パラセーリング自体は最高です。機会があれば次回もやりたいと思っています。

リュックなど荷物を持ち込んでも大丈夫です。腰掛け下のスペースに荷物やサンダルなどを入れて保管しますので水には濡れません。もちろん貴重品は各自の責任での管理となります。写真撮影のオプションは断らない限りつけられてしまうと思います。今回、私は3人名での参加で1名が船に残っている状況でしたので、スマホでの撮影で事足りました。スマホだと動画も撮れるし1名が船に残っているのであれば、写真オプションはなくても良いと思います。もし船から撮影してくれる人がいないのであれば、オプションつけた方が良いです。
船は揺れましたが船酔いはしなかったです。2組の参加で短時間であったということも影響したかもしれませんが。

Thousands of humpback whales come to Honolulu in winter! I was so excited and nervous about this first-time experience that I definitely wanted to participate. We set sail on time, and I couldn't contain my excitement at the breathtaking views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Along the way, rain clouds rolled in, and it suddenly turned into a downpour, making it a bit chilly, but it was still fun. I caught a glimpse of the whales for just a moment; I wanted to see more, but I will try again on the next opportunity. If I had to point out one area for improvement, I would have liked the coffee provided to be hotter. The staff were all smiling, which was great.

何千頭のザトウクジラが冬のホノルルにやって来る！これは是非参加したいと初めての体験にドキドキワクワクしました。時間通りに出航し、海の上から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景に興奮が収まりません。途中、雨雲が掛かり突然スコールになり、寒くもなったりしていましたが、楽しかったです。クジラの姿は一瞬見えました、もっと見たかったが次のチャンスでまたチャレンジします。改善点一つ上げるとすれば、提供されていたコーヒーが熱々のものにしてほしかったです。スタッフはみんな笑顔で良かったです。

My wife wanted to try it, so even though I have a fear of heights, I decided to participate. There were about ten other participants at the same time. We flew in pairs or threes, but since we were last in line, we had time to mentally prepare ourselves. I think each group flew for about seven minutes. When we actually took off, it was scary, but the view of Hawaii from the sky was breathtaking.

You can bring your phone while flying, but I didn't have much opportunity to take pictures. You can also purchase photos taken from the boat, or ask other participants to take pictures for you. The photos you buy are often taken with professional cameras, and they turned out well, so I recommend purchasing some as a keepsake.

一緒に行った妻がやってみたいとのことで、私は高所恐怖症でしたが参加することに。参加した時間は他にも参加者が多く10人くらいとなりました。2人もしくは3人で飛んでいましたが、自分達は順番が最後だったので心の準備をする時間がありました。1グループ7分程度空を飛んでいたと思います。実際に飛ぶと怖いのは怖いですが、空からのみたハワイの景色は絶景でした。
携帯も持って飛べますが、自分はあまり写真を撮る余裕はありませんでした。船からの写真は購入もできますし、他の参加者にお願いして撮ってもらうこともできます。購入した写真は本格的なカメラで撮ってもらえることもあり、写りはよかったので思い出に写真購入することをおすすめします。

I couldn't see any whales, but I was very impressed by Diamond Head from every angle. First of all, even though it was a large ship, it was about four times faster than I imagined. Because of this, when I climbed to the top of the ship, the wind felt really nice, and the weather was good, which made me feel very refreshed. The ship traveled from the departure point all the way to the back of Diamond Head and then returned, allowing us to see Diamond Head from various angles over the sea.

クジラは見ることができませんでしたが，ダイヤモンドヘッドはあらゆる角度から見ることができ，とても感動しました．まず，大きな船であるにも関わらず，その速さは想像の4倍ぐらい速かったです．そのため，船の屋上に登ると風がとても気持ち良く，天気も良かったため，とても爽快な気分になりました．船は出発地点から，ダイヤモンドヘッドの奥まで進み，折り返して帰ってくる航路であったため，海上から様々な角度のダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができました．

The Polynesian show was impressive, with authentic impersonations and a perfect balance that kept us entertained without getting bored until the very end. We attended with three generations, and everyone, young and old, enjoyed it.

ポリネシアンのショーも迫力があり、ものまねも本格的で、バランスが丁度良く、飽きる事無く、最後まで楽しめました。3世代で参加しましたが、老若男女、楽しめました。

The buffet was very delicious. I was guided to a table with only Japanese people, so I was able to have a lively conversation with those nearby and enjoyed my meal. I think it would have been a bit tough if I had been surrounded by foreigners. I appreciated that consideration. Some people say that the time before the show was too long, but I personally didn't find it boring. With the extra time, I went back for seconds multiple times.

The show featured familiar numbers, and I enjoyed it normally. There was also hula dancing. However, while the impersonations of Elvis and Michael were amusing, there were few male backup dancers.

Since there isn't much to do at night, I think it's a good option as one of the many shows available. If you go without the buffet, it's cheaper, making it even more enjoyable.

ビュッフェはとても美味しかったです。日本人のみのテーブルに案内されたので、近くの方とお話しが弾み、食事中も楽しめました。外国人に囲まれていたら、ちょっとしんどかったとは思います。その配慮はありがたかったです。ショーまでの時間が長すぎる、という意見もありますが、私に限っては退屈はしませんでした。時間がある分、おかわりも何回もしました。
ショーも知っているナンバーばかりで、普通に楽しめます。フラダンスもありました。ただ、プレスリーやマイケルは似せていて面白いですが、男性バックダンサーが少なかったです。
夜は特にする事もないので、数あるショーの一つとして良いと思います。ブュッフェなしなら安いので、より楽しめると思います。

In the end, I did see a spout and a little bit of the tail, but I can't deny that it felt a bit lacking. I had prepared myself for the possibility that it might not be very big based on past posts, so I wasn't too disappointed.

Since it was a large boat, there was no rocking, and I was able to enjoy the cruise with pound cake and drinks. On a smaller boat, you could move around more easily to search for whales, but I think the waves would be quite intense, raising concerns about seasickness. This time, the weather was decent, not too cold, and I was able to spend the time comfortably.

結果的には潮吹きと、少しのしっぽは見えましたが、物足りない感は否めませんでした。過去の投稿からも、大きくは見えないかもしれないと覚悟していたので、そこまで残念とは思いませんでした。
大きな船なので、揺れもなく、パウンドケーキと飲み物付きのクルージングで、それなりに楽しめました。
小さな船だと小回りもきいて鯨を探しに色々動けるでしょうが、波がすごくて、船酔いが心配だと思います。今回は、天気もまずまずで、そこまで寒くなく、快適に過ごせました。

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, and it seemed like such a fun experience that I made a reservation! The guide mostly spoke English, but I was able to watch an explanation video in Japanese before the horseback riding, so I understood most of it!

All the horses were smart, and even beginners could enjoy it safely. The scenery was amazing, and I really feel like I made a great choice in booking this. It became a wonderful memory!

新婚旅行でハワイへ行き、とても楽しそうな体験だなと思い予約しました！
ガイドさんはほとんど英語でしたが、乗馬前の説明動画は日本語での説明を見る事ができたので、大体の事は理解できました！

どのお馬さんもお利口で、初心者でも安全に楽しむ事ができました。景色も最高で、本当に予約してよかったなと思っています。
とても素敵な思い出になりました！

I heard that we would rise to 150 meters above the ground, and I was very scared, but being in the air was very meaningful, and there was no shaking, so I enjoyed it. However, I experienced the worst seasickness ever while on the boat before taking off. I knew that a certain speed was necessary for flying, and I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help. Others were also feeling unwell and had to sit down, so I think once in a lifetime is enough for me.

地上から150mまで上がると聞いてとても怖かったのですが、空中はとても有意義で揺れもなく楽しめました。が、飛ぶまでの船内で過去一船酔いしました。飛ぶのにそれ相応の速度が必要なのは承知しており、私は酔い止めを飲みましたがダメでした。他の方も体調不良でダウンしており、人生で1度乗れば十分かなと思いました。

I couldn't see any whales, but as you can see in the photos, I was able to enjoy a very beautiful view and feel the ocean of Hawaii. The banana bread and coffee were also very delicious, and overall, I am satisfied. I was worried about seasickness, but there were no significant waves, and I was able to spend the time comfortably.

クジラは見えませんでしたが、写真のとおりとても綺麗な景色を見ることができ、ハワイの海を感じることが出来ました。
バナナブレッドとコーヒーもとても美味しく、総じて満足です。
船酔いを心配していましたが、特に大きな揺れもなく健やかに過ごすことが出来ました。

I usually don't get seasick, but despite being on a large ship, the waves were so rough that I felt nauseous. It's a shame I didn't see any whales.

They come around to take drink orders, but it's okay if you don't want to order anything.

普段は船酔いしないが大型の船にも関わらず揺れが激しくて酔った。クジラも見えず残念

ドリンクの注文を聞きにきてくれるがしなくてもok
